Mathias Mpuuga, the former Leader of Opposition, has said Robert Kyagulanyi, the president of the National Unity Platform, needs help.
Responding to his suspension as NUP deputy president for Central Region, Mpuuga said Kyagulanyi and the top echelons of the party leadership need to be rescued from their captors. Read his full statement below.
Mpuuga’s statement on his suspension
I’ve seen a circulating document on social media, purportedly signed by yourself, in the latest fashion by the party.
If indeed it is your document and signature, I appreciate and sympathize with you on the current desperate situation.
I appreciate and understand that you are under siege. I don’t know how to help you and support you.
In view of the contents of the impugned document, that the person suspended failed to supply a satisfactory explanation, yet the same person was earlier on reported to have confessed and apologised, I don’t know how to rescue you and the party from the captors.
The prevailing desperate situation and the circumstances we find ourselves in, will afford me more time and space to consult with the rank and file of the party for a way forward.
Accept once again my sympathies for the unyielding siege that has impaired judgement at the highest echelons of the party.
I remain at your service and that of the party and the country.
Mathias Mpuuga (MP)
COMMISSIONER OF PARLIAMENT.
